At Ramires ATA Black Belt Academy, our Tigers learn the basic skills and knowledge domains of Songham Taekwondo, in a safe, fun, and entertaining environment.

At the start and end of every class we recite the ATA Tiger Oath:
“I PROMISE:
To be a good person,
With knowledge in mind,
Honesty in heart,
Strength in body,
To make good friends,
And to become a BLACK BELT!”

During class students learn rank appropriate techniques and a weapons form, either Nunchaku or Bahng Mahng Ee. They break boards and learn essential sparring skills, both standard points sparring and Combat Bahng Mahng Ee.

Outside of class, Ramires ATA Black Belt Academy, hosts holiday events, fund raisers for local charities and organizations, and participates in local parades and festivals. These events are fun for students of all ages and offers them an opportunity to show their skills and pride in the community.
